Course Leader - Debbie Buck
I have worked In the Mental Health Care sector for 38 years and have developed my skills in a variety of roles and settings. For the last four years I have been supporting the development of an Advanced Clinical Practitioner strategy and coordinating its roll out and delivery within a mental health trust. Through this I developed a keen interest in the development of nursing skills for myself and others. Leading by example, I qualified as a non-medical prescriber in Mental Health in 2004 and have worked as the Lead for Non-medical prescribing for several years.
